Press Release of Guatemala Pavilion
Aligned to the theme of the 59th International Art Exhibition � La Biennale di Venezia,
which is titled "The Milk of Dreams," the National Pavilion of Guatemala will present
an impressive painting titled "Inclusion," by young artist Christian Escobar
"Chrispapita� (Instagram: @chrispapita), who is also curator of the exhibition. The
Pavilion's General Commissioner is Felipe Amado Aguilar Marroqu�n, the Guatemala
Minister of Culture.
The artwork is 7 meters wide by 2.8 meters high and is an acrylic painting on canvas.
Through the technique of hyperrealism, the artist wants to show "the human and
inclusive gear as the engine of change and progress in Guatemala." Chrispapita
explained that this is a tribute to the artists of the golden age of Latin American
murals, but also to the great Italian masters of the Baroque, attesting the great
influence of Italian art on Guatemalan culture.
"Inclusion" proposes an invitation to accept the differences between human beings
and to respect them, with justice and equality, considering that each individual in its
singularity is part of the society. It also exalts the greatest wealth Guatemala has, its
people and its multicultural diversity as a strength for development.
On the path to inclusion, this project not only has the support of the Government of
Guatemala, through its Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Culture; but it has also been
supported by important companies in the country that support culture: the National
Coffee Association (Anacafe), Ron Botr�n, the Guatemalan Tourism House (Camtur),
the Apolo Group, Invernowi S.A., the Paiz Foundation, Lua Chips, the Ixchel Museum
and the Rafael Landivar University.
In addition, with the "Inclusion" project, the Guatemala Pavilion aimed to promote the
Central American country as a tourist destination of great natural and cultural wealth.
The exhibition is open to the public from April 23 to November 27, 2022, at SPUMA
